So there's this house across the street. For the past few years, we noticed that his driveway was always, ALWAYS, clean in winter. Really, it's like he had a giant invisible force field preventing snow from touching his driveway. And it's not an simple asphalt driveway, no it's one of those "brick" ones.

So we kinda arrived at the conclusion that he had a heated driveway, I mean, that was the best conclusion.

Since I do the 12-8 shift now, I get to see a bit more about what's going on in the neighborhood nowadays. Turns out... he doesn't have a heated driveway, HE SHOVELS IT ALL OUT.

... that's pretty insane. Most people shovel pretty good and there's still some traces of snow, heck usually people leave a whole bunch of snow right on the asphalt... and he's nearly taking a toothpick in all the cracks to get rid of that last particle of snow.

I'm not sure if that's dedication... or insanity... especially since he shovels more than once per day and does this each time.

OOOOOOOH BOY.

So today has officially been the first time I've drove in a snow storm... it's been... special.

But I swear, it's always the same thing each year

*2 days prior to the first snow storm*

Boss: Okay guys, there's a snow storm coming, let's get those snow plows ready!

Snow plow workers: Sure thing.

*HUGE STORM*

Boss: What the... nothing is being done, there's snow on all roads! What are you doing?

SPW; ... deeeeeeeeerp, you mean we're supposed to do something? Oh right~

*sigh* You'd think they would eventually learn... and it's not like snow isn't common up here near winter either, geez.

I'm actually glad I had Japanese class tonight, because if I was going home, judging by how traffic was going, it would have taken me two hours for a normally 15 minute drive!
